Don't Think Why Do Atkins It's All Right

original song by Bob Dylan of course, new lyrics 2/2004 by Steve Bergen
a quick review by a NYC doctor: "Steve, this is very funny stuff!"

... and a subsequent comment by a Summercore alum from VA: "Thanks for the musical entertainment. I hope your doctor recommends keeping with your day job, cause if the prescription is different, then you should see a new doc."

To listen to the version record by Eric and me in our lobby at midnight (Dec 2004):

It ain't no use to think and wonder Why Do Atkins
It don't matter any how
It ain't no use to think and wonder Why Do Atkins
I've got more meat in me than a cow
I'm a thinking and a wondering as I pour in the cream
Bread used to be a staple, now it's just a dream
My ketones, they are flowin, flowing like a stream
Don't think Why Do Atkins, it's alright

I'm walking down that NYC road babe
Hope I don't slip, like Dr. Atkins did
The Mayor says he fell cause of his weight
Most people think he accidentally fell and slid
I ain't saying the Mayor should apologize
It's only his pride and he sees it through his eyes
He probably got frustrated cause the Mrs wasn't serving fries
Don't think Why Do Atkins, it's alright

So long, honey babe
So long to sugar too
Nothing sweet about the Atkins diet
A little splendor will have to do
Not sure I've got the will power or the drive
Unlike the good doctor, I am just trying to stay alive
I need my bowl of whipped cream with some jello on the side
Don't think Why Do Atkins, it's alright
